Thank you for sharing those beautiful passages, Shir. May this Passover bring peace and joy to you and yours.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Trudy, is there an office bulletin board or casual group chat where you can post "to the owner of the mysteriously switched lunch tray, my apologies. It is now your turn to surprise someone with a lunch switcheroo. Pay it forward!"
Ha!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Good news: the replacement order of my prescription medication (abiraterone acetate) just arrived. No charge.
::whew::
The timeline:
16March order placed through the web site.
18March order shipped.
23March expected delivery date.
24March revised delivery date.
24March delivery notice email received, but package was not in my mailbox.
24March missing package reported.
31March replacement order shipped, email notification received.
01April replacement order received.
So it took five business days from report of missing package to shipping the replacement. At least they sent the replacement by overnight service.
Lesson learned: order the next refill at least twelve business days before supply runs out.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Glad to hear you got your meds, dcp. But egads, what a bunch of added stress.

That was far too scary!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whew, dcp! Also, if you ever need a blood transfusion you are welcome to some of mine! Have blood will travel.

Oh, wow, kat, that’s so exciting!
I am on a cocktail of otc meds that seem to have the cough under control but my one ear is still dodgy. My balance is off so I decided not to even try to work, but the interesting thing is I get a tinny echo in that ear, even right now with a train whistle. Super weird. Made listening to Midnight Burger very confusing as I kept thinking “is that a sound effect or is that just my ear?” and missing the actual dialing and/or action
Why do they even make “not for passover use” matzo? Is it like factory seconds?
